Description Best For You: Orlando

Sitting in a resort next to Universal Orlando, this home opens its doors to the theme park trip of your dreams. The on-site water park – with slides, a Lazy Loop, and a playground for younger children – means there's plenty to fill a morning before the resort shuttle heads out to Disney World. Two themed kids' bedrooms (one sci-fi, one Minions) take care of bedtime excitement, while the screened pool terrace gives grown-ups somewhere to decompress after the crowds. A golf simulator room rounds things out for anyone who needs a break from the magic.
